[CLIP] Spice Girls "Wannabe" at 30: Reviewing The Debut That Launched Girl Power

Thirty years ago, five women crashed a party in a London hotel and told the entire music industry exactly what they really, really wanted. Pop was never the same. In this clip, Chris and Chantel Nicole give an honest review of the Spice Girls' "Wannabe" and ask whether the song that built Girl Power still hits in 2026. We get into the under-an-hour writing session with Matt Rowe and Richard 'Biff' Stannard, the label that wanted almost any other song as the debut single, the "zig-a-zig-ahh" of it all, and the run-and-riot Johan Camitz video shot at St Pancras, complete with Mel C's now-iconic table backflip. Plus the numbers that still don't feel real: seven weeks at #1 in the UK, number one in 37 countries, and the best-selling girl group single of all time. Does "Wannabe" still deserve the crown?
